Berkelouw Leichhardt

Good stock & friendly, helpful staff.

Always great to browse the books and find gems. Highly recommend!

What's not to love in a book shop. Good collection. Nice little gift collection too for kids and adults.

The second hand section is superb. The new books are like any reasonable book store. The Psychology, philosophy art, design 2nd hand section are superb. The mathematics interesting. Religion diverse. However the big disappointment is the economic and finance section full of the usual pseudo pulp motivation/ business hyperbole that masquerades as some sort of economic discussion. I think the buyer is just uneducated on the topic and fills the shelves with what he things are good sellers. Things only appear by accident there. Otherwise for the fine arts and humanities the second hand section is one of the best curated collections in Sydney.

Absolutely adore this store and the staff working there. I’ve been coming here for over 10 years now. Still a gem in the inter west ❤️

After visiting this place the kids said to me - this was a great bookstore. High praise indeed. We bought a board game and some books to read for the summer holidays. Worth a visit.

I understand storekeepers don't like people come 5 minutes before closing, but when the tills are still open and you can't serve someone who just quickly wants a book for a birthday gift, I think it's pretty disgraceful.Change your closing time to 5:55 if that's when you like to leave.With such disregard, no wonder bigger brands like Kinokuniya and Dymocks have swallowed these little stores.. atleast there I know what I'm getting.

A terrific place to quell an appetite right in the middle of one of Leichhardt's central landmark attractions. The Berkelouw Book store. Surrounded by the actual book store the Cafe itself is positioned conveniently in the middle of the busiest part of the strip guarding the pedestrian crossing. With tables extending past the footpath one can dine in the once parking lane of the road protected by a steel fence. If you prefer a less adventurous dining experience sitting under the main canopy does offer protection from the weather.The food here is amazingly varied and quite delicious. In my opinion the Pick of the menu here is the breakfasts. The time from ordering to landing on the table was less than 10 minutes and the big breakfast I ordered was piping hot and just big enough that you couldn't finish it in its entirety.The most centrally located spot in the area and across the road from a Woolworths with a public car park below it's a easy and recognisable place to meet up.

Although they did not have the book I was looking for the woman that served me did an extensive search and explained to me that it was not actually being sold in Australia. She was super informative and offered to search for it for me,! I had been all over Sydney looking for this book an NO ONE said that it was not available... Unfortunately I was leaving the country so I could not wait. EXCEPTIONAL SERVICE. And what a great store beautiful gifts we ended up purchasing a heap of gifts while there.

Not much point leaving a dog water bowl out if it has 3mm of dirty water in it and left in the sun. And this at 9.45am. Beautiful.
